Summer Tires Suggestions

I have narrow my choices of summer tires to the following:
1. Toyo T1-R
2. Michelin Pilot Sport PA2
3. Goodyear F1 GS-D3

My car is a 2004 CLK320 Coupe and I'm upgrading from OE 16-inch to 17-inch. The sizes will be F:225-45-17 and R:245-40-17. I want decent cornering perfromance and I prefer the ride to be comfortable, firm but not harsh.

Any advise is appreciated.

Ahhh>>>>>>summer. Not to far away for Toronto.

I have been running the PS2's on my C55 and find they are a nearly perfect all around performance tire. The stick like glue on dry as well as wet surfaces and are one of the best riding tires I have ever owned, VERY quiet!!

I would go with the Michelin

What is the difference between the PA2 and the PS2? I'm happy with the PS2s on my CLK.

Sorry Chappy, that was a typo (fixed). The PA2 is the Michelin winter tire I use . I do run PS2's in summer. Love both PA2's and PS2's thought.
